Fact: The best way to defeat all terrorist groups is by cutting off
material support. Without it they’d wither and fade away.

Fact: Washington redeployed most ISIS fighters in Mosul to Syria. In
the battle for Raqqa, they were shifted southeast to Deir Ezzor.
They’re sent where Pentagon commanders and CIA officials want them
used.

Fact: Defenseless civilians are being “annihilated” in Iraq and
Syria, not ISIS fighters, discussed in earlier articles, a new one
today, discussing continuing systematic massacre of noncombatants by
US terror-bombing.

WaPo: “Among the successes of the current policy…are the
near-cessation of civilian displacements inside Syria and Iraq, and
the return of hundreds of thousands of displaced civilians to their
homes in places previously occupied by the Islamic State.”

Syrian forces, greatly aided by Russia, Iran and Hezbollah alone
deserve credit for liberating hundreds of cities, towns and
villages, permitting the return of displaced civilians in some
areas.

In Mosul, Iraq, there’s nothing to come back to, the city
terror-bombed to rubble, perhaps thousands of civilian corpses yet
to be discovered, victims of imperial ruthlessness.
